Ryan Day Needs to Maintain the Toughness Urban Meyer Instilled into His Ohio State Teams

There were less than 11 minutes to go in the second quarter of last year's Michigan game when the tide turned Ohio State's way.

To that point, the Buckeyes were leading a clunky, ungraceful affair, holding a 7-6 lead while trying to get the offense on track after consecutive three-and-outs.

It was second-and-11 at Ohio State's 33, and Terry McLaurin ran a quick break route that should've gained eight yards. That's not how it played out, though, after McLaurin lowered his shoulder into 235-pound Michigan linebacker Devin Gil and pushed him three yards downfield to the first-down marker.
